Joel Schultz Posted December 13, 2001 Report Posted December 13, 2001 Hey, I was working on this too!Mine's still on paper and without page references. Sometime if I get it off and complete I'll send you it in a PM, U_E.

I didn't see a definition either. Huh.)

Soback Posted December 13, 2001 Report Posted December 13, 2001 HF = Hunger factor - the larger the number the hungrier the character.
Põdi Posted December 13, 2001 Report Posted December 13, 2001 2 points:HF = Health Factor surely?Couldn't find ASL either. AGL (Above Ground Level) is in there though (somewhere).
Unknown_Enemy Posted December 13, 2001 Author Report Posted December 13, 2001 Thanks guys,I will add all that.But it will take a few days, as I have started to add cross page references to the glossary, which is an utter bi..h to do !I will post here if I need some help to find some signification.BTW may be one of the admin could move this thread to the newbee forum ?PS I hate everything that my FATAL system can lock, or which can fit in my MTAR. So if you want to get my commander mad, just paint a flying sauccer in his visor.

JoshB Posted December 14, 2001 Report Posted December 14, 2001 Ok, this is a wee bit off topic, but could someone translate the phrase "anyone see a trailer?" My pilots say it constantly. I have no idea what it means.
Soback Posted December 14, 2001 Report Posted December 14, 2001 The way I see it is you know when your fighters are flying around there's trails coming out of their engines. Well I think what they mean by "does anyone see a trailer" is if anyone sees enemys trails, so as long as they are saying that you are safe.
Soback Posted December 14, 2001 Report Posted December 14, 2001 Just to clarify. I am talking about the exhaust or the burned fuel or whatever it is in the 30th century that they use for propulsion, that's coming out of the engines, not the green flight path trails.

My pilots say it constantly. I have no idea what it means.It basically means does anyone see another enemy (boggie) ship following me, my target or my escort target.

Soback Posted December 14, 2001 Report Posted December 14, 2001 quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: I suppose neither one of you watched Topgun then? Do you mean the condensed trail that comes off the a/c at altitude?
Stroman Posted December 14, 2001 Report Posted December 14, 2001 How about the definitions of the missile guidance logic ... reATL ATL/V CTLetc.
Supreme Cmdr Posted December 15, 2001 Report Posted December 15, 2001 quote:Originally posted by Soback: Do you mean the condensed trail that comes off the a/c at altitude?NoTrailer refers to an escort or another bogie.So, I take it none of you saw Topgun, then?

"with shame in his voice"I saw it, but I was busy looking at the flying and not listening to what they were saying.

Guest Grayfox Posted January 14, 2002 Report Posted January 14, 2002 i believe it means trailer as in enemy fighter/craft on his 6 o clock. thats a pucker factor of 6 if your RIO says yes
Gallion Posted January 14, 2002 Report Posted January 14, 2002 So what's the status of this endeavour?On hold?Still under developement?Or has this become abandon ware?TTFN
Guest Grayfox Posted January 15, 2002 Report Posted January 15, 2002 have no idea... top gun gives me flashbacks of middle school
Joel Schultz Posted January 15, 2002 Report Posted January 15, 2002 I haven't forgotten this, although I had hoped U_E would have carried this forward.I may eventually get around to contributing some more. But at the moment I'm very busy with RL. You know, the one thing that can actually be more important than THE GAME? ducks flying rocks as shouts of "Blasphemer!" ascend into the airIn all seriousness, I probably won't be able to even get back to seriously playing BCM till February, let alone assist on a community project like this. I have to finish my MS degree, or my company will never pay off my tuition...
Kush Posted January 16, 2002 Report Posted January 16, 2002 Boy do I know how you feel. RL is about to suck me in after next week.I try and resist, but it keeps pulling me back in!
